DURATION: UP TO 5-HOURS

With a knowledgeable English-speaking driver, visit Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, where you will delve into the rich history of the French nobility. From plots against the royal court to the outstanding achievements of iconic 17th century artists, you are sure to be amazed.

The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte was built for Nicolas Fouquet, the ambitious viscount of Vaux. The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on a large-scale project for the first time. Their collaboration marked the beginning of the “Louis XIV style”, combining architecture, interior design, and landscape design.

After visiting the inside, discover the first ‘French Gardens’ of an unprecedented scale, designed by André Le Nôtre. These gardens remain among the most beautiful in Europe. You will not want to miss a visit to the intriguing Horse and Carriage Museum. In this museum you will find large stables showcasing beautiful antique carriages with all their equipment. Take a step back in time with a journey that includes coaches and carriages, teams of harnessed horses, coachmen, footmen, and other passengers that revive the art of master coachbuilders for your visit.
